JORDAN'S HOUSE!

---

Jordan smiled as she opened the door to her house. "Here we are.. come on" she said smiling happily, letting Keifeto off her back. She headed for the basement.

Keifeto smiled and followed jordan back down to the basement whistling happily

Jordan picked up Keifeto's clothes and tossed them to him. "Here ya go.. bathroom's over there" she pointed to a small room beside the closet.

Keifeto smiled up at her as he caught his clothes and nodded"yeah i better hurry so were not late fr school"he said as he walked into the bathroom

Jordan nodded and got changed quickly. She sat at her laptop on the desk and turned it on while she waited for Keifeto.

Kifeto changed and came out of the bathroom smiling and skipped up net to jordan"what a doin?"

Jordan smiled at Keifeto, then looked back at the laptop. "Just checking things" she smiled.

Keifeto smiled and laughed puling his bear cap out of his back pack and puting it on his head"oh okay"

Jordan smiled and shut her laptop, then glanced at Keifeto. "Awww.. that's an adorable hat!"

Keifeto smiled and blushed slightly pulling the cap down over his ears more"thanks"

Jordan stood up and looked at Keifeto, grinning. "Well, what do ya say we go to school now?" she asked.

Keifeto grinned up at her and nodded smiling"yeah sounds like a good idea"

Jordan grabbed her bookbag and slung it over her shoulder. "Come on then" she smiled, heading out the door and to the school. (Silver Wind Hallway)

"oi wait for meee"Keifeto giggled ad hurried after jordan

---

Jordan unlocked the front door and opened it, stepping into the large sized house. She held the door open for Nathan, smiling softly at him. "Welcome to my place..." she muttered.

"DUCK!" Nathan yelled pushing her down as his suitcase flew above them, "sorry about that...I was trying to get it to land behind me.." he said blushing wildly.

Jordan laughed. "It's ok.." she turned and headed for the basement door. "Come on, you can put that in my room for now" she said softly.

"Ok.." Nathan said smiling as he lugged the case to the door she was standing at.

"Just go on down.. the whole basement is my room, so it doesn't matter where you put it" she smiled happily.

"Ok thanks.." Nathan said smiling up at her as he sat on teh case and slid down the stairs.

Jordan giggled and followed Nathan down, turning on the light as she did. When they got to the bottom, she stepped past him and went to her desk where her laptop was set up. She opened it and started typing.

"Alright so where do I sleep.." Nathan asked falling backwards on her bed.

"Right there if you want" Jordan answered without looking up. She turned after a moment and smirked. "There's a small bed thing I can sleep on right there" she pointed at the small day bed in the corner.

"It's ok I'll sleep on that.." Nathan replied smiling.

"No no.. you take the bed.. it's ok" Jordan said, the smirk growing on her face.

"It's your bed....I won't take it.." Nathan said smiling at her as he slumped over to the other and laid down.

"No!!! You take the bed!" Jordan exclaimed, standing up and going over to sit beside Nathan. "I don't mind.. actually, I like the day bed.. it's comfy"

"Really..." Nathan said rolling around on it.

Jordan giggled. "Having fun?" she asked, smiling widely.

"Yeah I'm trying to figure out how you find this comfortable," Nathan said chuckling as he continued rolling around the day bed.

"I just do..." Jordan giggled again and stood to go back to her desk and laptop.

"Well if you are sure..." Nathan said smiling.

"Yes I'm sure" Jordan said in a much softer voice. She was getting distracted by her computer again.

"Well anyway...I think I'm gonna rest for a while...then we can get back to practicing...ok..." Nathan muttered closing his eyes.

"Yea, sure" Jordan mumbled, typing fast on the keyboard.

Nathan mumbled something incoherently before dozing off quickly after.

After a moment, Jordan suddenly jumped up. She looked at Nathan, then winced at accidentally kicking the desk and making a loud sound. She went upstairs. After a few minutes, she came back down holding a small black and white dog.

Nathan jumped and fell off the bed when she hit the desk, coming from his daze a few moment's later he looked up and saw the dog vaguely, "what is that..." he asked as his vision was still blurry.

Jordan chuckled lightly and cuddled the dog, then put it down. "That's Toby... she's my dog" she muttered softly, petting the dog.

"I didn't notice it when we walked in...." Nathan said starring at it clearly now.

"Oh, she was tied up out back.. guess my parents put her out there before they left" Jordan answered, giggling as the dog bounced over to Nathan and jumped up on his lap.

"Ummmm why did it just do that..." Nathan said looking down at the dog nervously.

Jordan went and sat beside Nathan. "Pet her.. she loves it" she grinned, patting the dog on the head.

"Ummm..ok..." Nathan said nervously patting the dog.

"Don't worry, she won't hurt you.. She's really friendly.. a little too friendly sometimes.." jordan giggled and stood up. She went and shut her laptop, then pulled over a giant beanbag chair and flopped down into it.

"I just don't like little dogs...they scare me...I was attacked by one when I was little.." Nathan said still freaked out about the dog.

"Well, if you don't want her near you, just push her off" Jordan said, smiling softly. "She wouldn't dare hurt anyone of my friends.. or she'd never see the light of day again" Jordan muttered, pointing to the corner of her room to a small dog cage. 

"I don't want to be mean to her...I just don't really like little dogs..." Nathan mumbled picking her up and setting her on the ground gently.

"It's alright.. as long as you don't mind her wandering around here.. my parent's don't like her upstairs without someone being there.." Jordan stated plainly, watching the dog run hyperly over to a toy.

"As long is it doesn't try to use me as a chew toy..." Nathan mumbled chuckling slightly.

Jordan smiled and went over and sat beside Nathan again. "Don't worry, I won't let that happen" she said softly, patting Nathan's knee.

"Oh believe me I won't either...they are just creepy..." Nathan said shivering slightly.

Keifeto came walking up the path to jordans front door"hmm shes probably sill at nathans..."he said looking at the door shruging"i just need my wallet no no one will even know.."he looked around to make sure no one was watching he put his and on the doorknob his hand didnt eve cover the knob as the oor unlocked itself and opened up and keifeto walked in shutting the door behind him and walked tward the bathroom where he thought he left the wallet

Jordan heard the door open and shut. She looked at Nathan, then at the door to the basement. "Someone just came in" she whispered, her whispered voice shaky.

"I'll go check it out..." Nathan mumbled as he crept up the stairs and out of the basement silently.

Jordan followed Nathan up the stairs, looking around him worriedly. "I knew I should have set the alarm!!" she exclaimed in a whisper.

"Stay here..." Nathan mumbled walking out into the hall behind the man waving his hand creating a small explosion in front of him, " who are you and what are you doing here...." he asked firmly.

Keifeto stopped and raised an eyebrow at the explosion"who else do you know that is this short?"he said turning around calmly facing nathan.

"Keifeto...what are you doing I could have killed you..." Nathan grumbled sighing, "Jordan...It's Keifeto..." he called to her.

Jordan came running the rest of the way up the stairs. When she saw Keifeto and sighed deeply relieved, then went over to him and hugged him. "You scared me! What are you doing here?"

Keifeto giggled at nathans comment and hugged jordan back"i forgot my wallet.."he said blushing"i thoought you were still at his house"he said motioning to nathan.

"Suprise.." Nathan said sarcastically as he chuckled slightly, "Jordan...someone else is coming...he muttered turning to the front door quickly drawing his dagger.

Jordan looked at Nathan, then at the door. "It's ok" she said to Keifeto. "You know you're allowed here anytime" she muttered before going silently over to the door and looking out.

"Hello.." A tall slender man said smiling as he appeared behind Jordan, "Which one of you two is Nathan..." he asked pointing his hand over at the two boys.

"That would be me...so your another one they sent after me then..." Nathan mumbled as his dagger was consumed by flames.

Jordan inched her way over to beside Nathan and stared at the tall stranger.

Keifeto sat down on the ground and chuckled"wow,your supposed to be after nathan and you didnt even know what he looked like"keifeto giggled lookig up at the tall man

"What can I say...I like to be different...." He muttered laughing slightly after he appeared behind Nathan.

"Keifeto...take Jordan and hide..." Nathan shouted flipping away as the man jabbed with his blade, " and don't let him cut you...his blade will seal your skills too..." he added landing and runing into the front yard.

Keifeto stuck his tongue out"i dont wanna hide,i wanna watch mr.Flamey in action"he laughed sitting on the ground

"And I'm NOT leaving" Jordan hissed, sounding angry. She frowned and stood beside Nathan. "I'm not leaving you alone up here"

"How sweet..I'll just cut through them first..." The man bellowed laughing wildly as he swong his black blade down on Keifeto.

"Hey!" Nathan shouted throwing the dagger at his face forcing himto teleport away from Keifeto.

Keifeto frowned and muttered"i can defend myself..."

"Well do it then..." Nathan shouted running back in to his dagger and pulling it from the wall as the man teleported behind him.

"Bad move kid...really bad move.." he said smiling as he brought his blade down towards Nathan.

Jordan jumped in front of Nathan. She glared at the man hard, throwing him backwards with her mind. "GET THE HEL OUTTA MY HOUSE" she screamed, sounding angrier then she's ever seemed before.

"We might need your help with this one Keifeto..." Nathan mumbled charging the man and kicking him through the doorway.

"A bunch of kids....there wasn't suppose to be more than one with a skill..." the man grumbled as he stood to his feet and drew another shorter sword.

Keifeto laughed and shook his head standing up"mr.flameys asking for help?"he laughed putting his hand on the floor causing the floor arch up like a giantwave and crash down on the assasin.

"You are out of your legue kids..." the man growled teleporting back outside.

"Really now..." Nathan said from behind him driving his blade into the mans torso, "Keifeto don't let him teleport away..you to Jordan.." he shouted.

Keifeto walked outside and put a hand on the ground causing a hand made out of earth to grab the assasin and squeeze cracking couple of his ribs"out of my league?"heifeto asked giggling a little"i havent started playing yet"

Jordan watched for a moment then turned and went down into the basement, slamming the door behind her. She went to her desk and opened her laptop and started typing on it again.

"Now that she is gone...I don't have to hold back anymore..." Nathan muttered smiling as he placed his hand on the stone one Keifeto made causing it to explode sending shards of stone flying everywhere and shredding the assassin spattering everything with blood, "Maybe that was too messy..." he mumbled wiping the blood from his face slightly as he walked back inside past Keifeto smiling widely.

Jordan sighed deeply and continued typing on her computer.

"Whats wrong..." Nathan asked walking down slathered in blood still.

Keifeto giggled as he got plattered with blood"its raining assasin!"keifeto said dancing around before walking back into the house and putting his hand on the ground fixing the hallway that he destroyedby turning it into agiant wave before walking down the stairs seeing jordan and nathan"i think we should wash up"he giggled

"Nothing" Jordan muttered plainly, not turning around.

"Are you mad because I was being protective..." Nathan asked sighing before turning to Keifeto, " I will in a minute you go ahead..."

Keifeto went into the bathroom and shut the door

Jordan shook her head and shut the laptop. She grabbed a notebook, and a pen and started writing.

"Please tell me whats wrong then..." Nathan asked sighing heavily as he leaned down beside her.

"I told you nothing's wrong!" Jordan exclaimed, getting up and going over to a small couch in the opposite corner of the room. She slouched down onto it and turned on her tv.

"Fine...I'll be back when you are ready to talk to me..." Nathan grumbled walking upstairs and knocking on the bathroom door, " are you done in there yet..."

Keifeto came out of the bathroom wet and wearing a towel"uh...my clothes are all bloody...."he said giggling holdin the towel arond his waist skipping past nathan back downstairs to jordans room peeking his head down shyly"uh..jordan?"

"There are extra clothes in my suitcase...they shouldn't be too much bigger..." Nathan shouted as he walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him grumbling to hiself, "why does she always do this...I didn't do anything wrong..."

Jordan looked at Keifeto. "yes?" she asked, a small smile creeping across her face.

"uh.."he said nervously creeping into the room holding the towel so it doesnt fall off"wheres nathans suitcase at?"he blushed"i-i need some clean cothes"

"A few minutes later Nathan came out drying his hair and walked down the stairs past Keifeto, "It's over here..." Nathan said dragging it from the corner and dropping his towel.

"Yea, what he said" Jordan muttered, the small smile disappearing from her face.

"Here..." Nathan grumbled tossing Keifeto a shirt and a pair of pants and digging some out for himself, "Whatever I did to make you so mad..I"m sorry..."

"Ok" Jordan replied, staring blankly at the tv.

Keifeto quickly put the pants and shirt on they were really baggy so he had to hold the pants up"um jordan,whats wrong?"he said as he flopped down next to her on the couch

"Nothing" Jordan answered in a soft voice. "I'm fine" she sighed deeply.

Keifeto loked up at her frowning slightly and layed his head o her shoulder"you dont seem fine"

"I am" Jordan replied, getting up slowly so as not to make Keifeto fall over. She sighed again and headed upstairs, letting the door shut behind her.

"She is mad at me...now where are my damned boxers.." Nathan growled digging through his bag furiously.

Keifeto frowned and layed down on the couch"why is she mad a you?"he looked over at nathan

"I have no idea...there they are.." Nathan said grabbing his boxers and pulling them on quickly.

Jordan went into the kitchen and sat down at the small table. She covered her face with her hands. All I wanted to do was prove that I was powerful enough.. but the minute I did that, he jumped in and stole my moment she sighed deeply.

"I'm going to go see if she will tell me one last time..." Nathan mumbled slinging his pants and shirt over his shoulder and walking up the stairs and over to Jordan, "Why are you so upset...if I did something I really didn't mean to..."

Jordan looked up at Nathan as he came in, then buried her face again. "It's nothing, don't worry about it.." she muttered. "I'm not mad at you" she turned and went to the fridge. She pulled out a can of soda, then looked at Nathan. "You want something to drink?"

"Yeah I guess..." Nathan said sighing as he pulled his pants on and slipped his shirt on as well buttoning it.

Jordan forced a smile and brought a can of soda over to the table, putting it nearest to Nathan. "You didn't get hurt... did you?" she asked suddenly in a quiet voice.

"Just a scratch from a stone shard..." Nathan muttered sitting down at the table.

Jordan nodded. "Ok then" she answered, looking at the table top. "I'm not mad at you.. just so you know"

"Ok..." Nathan said forcing a smile to make her feel better, "so do you want to do something..."

"Like what?" Jordan asked, looking up at Nathan again.

"Anything really practice, see a movie, something.." Nathan said smiling, "Oh and you have improved alot with your gift...you impressed me..."

Jordan smiled and looked away shyly. "Thanks.. I guess it becomes more powerful when I'm angry. "I don't care what we do.. it's up to you"

"I don't really care either that's why I asked...I'll be fine as long as I'm with you..." Nathan said blushing slightly.

"Awwww" Jordan giggled slightly, a light pink blush coming across her face. She got up and went around the table and stood in front of Nathan. She paused for a moment, then leaned over and hugged him tightly.

Nathan smiled as he hugged her back tightly and ran his fingers through her hair.

Keifeto came up the stairs and into the kitchen holding the pants up smiling happily"whats up?"

Jordan turned her head, laying against Nathan's chest. She smiled at Keifeto. "nothing, we're trying to decide what to do.."

Nathan laughed looking at the boy before muttering, "there is a belt in my case too...just dig through until you find it..."

Keifeto blushed looking down at the pants"oh ok,thanks flamey"He giggled and skipped away back down the steps and went over to nathans suitcase opening it looking inside"messy messy"he giggled putting both hands on the top layer of stuff and the stuff inside began orgnizing and folding itself keifeto grabbed the belt and put it on tightly

Jordan giggled slightly and stood straight. she went and sat on the chair beside Nathan.

"What is he doing...it was ontop.." Nathan mumbled shaking his head chuckling slightly.

The stuff from the suitcase placed itself back in all neatly folded and organized keifeto smiled shutting it and skipped up the steps back into the kitchen"Thanks flamey,i fixed your suitcase"he laughed looking at him and then jordan"so...have we figured out what we are doing?"

"she hasn't told me yet.." Nathan said looking up at him smiling.

"I told you, I don't care what we do" Jordan said from the other side of Nathan.

"Please pick....I would just pick something stupid anyway..." Nathan whispered softly.

"Then pick something stupid" Jordan answered back quietly. "I don't really mind what we do" she put a hand on his arm and smiled a soft smile.

"Fine let's just go with something safe and see a movie...." Nathan replied smiling, "but you have to pick which one..."

Jordan smirked. "How bout we watch a movie here.. downstairs?" she asked. "I got a huge tv down there, and dim lights... and all my best movies are down there.."

"Alright that works..." Nathan said smiling as he reached up to play with her hair.

"Come along then" Jordan grinned and moved out of reach of Nathan fast. she got up and started off downstairs, dragging Keifeto after her. "Come on Keifeto.. you can join us" she muttered, smirking.

"Alright...I'll be there in a second..." Nathan said smiling as he pulled several small crystals from his poket, now...if I fill these with energy...anyone that passes them will be paralyzed... he muttered throwing them all around the house intrances.

"YOU COMING???" Jordan called up the stairs. "I need your help deciding what movie!!!" she giggled slightly.

"Yeah give me a second..." Nathan yelled back placing the last of the crystals around the windows and walking back down to the basement.

Jordan smiled and went over to the large entertainment system in a corner of her room. She knelt down and pulled out two large dvd racks, full of movies.

"The third from the top on the left stack..." Nathan said smiling as he walked up to her anad pulled it out.

Keifeto laughed and leaned in closer "what movies is that?"he asked trying to see between jordan and Nathan

Jordan put her hands up, giggling and turned. "Go ahead and start it if you're so smart" she teased playfully, giggling.

"Ah...I like this one...its childish but good...The nightmare Before Christmas..." Nathan said laughing, " I just picked randomly..."

Keifeto squealed with delight and ran over jumping on the couch beside jordan bouncing up and down"i love that one!!"

Jordan giggled and moved over slightly so Keifeto didn't accidentally jump on her. "It's a good one" she answered, smiling. "You guys want the lights on, or off?? or dimmed??" she asked, suddenly standing and going to the light switch

"It doesn't matter to me..." Nathan said smiling as he put the movie in and went to sit on the couch.

Keifeto bounced a few more times"off off off"he said jumping a few more times before crossing his legs underneath him in mid-air and landing on the couch giggling

Jordan giggled and nodded. "Ok, off it is" she said, turning the lights off. She went back to the couch and sat beside Nathan, leaning against him slightly and taking his hand.

Nathan smiled slighlty as he grasp her hand and layed his head ontop of her gently.

Keifeto leaned over sideways laying down on the couch resting his head on the armrest,his small body fit perfectly in the room left on the couch"this is halloween this is halloween"

Jordan smirked widely and cuddled as close as she could get to Nathan.

A grin crept across Nathan's face as Jordan moved closer and wrapped his free arm around her shoulders.

Jordan glanced at Nathan's face, then back at the movie. "what are you grinning about?" she whispered without looking at him.

"Nothing...oh before you try and walk outside...move the crystal I placed by the doors..if not they will paralyze you..." Nathan muttered trying to change the subject as he began to blush.

Jordan put her arm around Nathan's back and laid her head on his shoulder. "ok.." she muttered.

Nathan smiled again and relaxed more as he laid his head back on Jordans softly and began to doze off.

Keifeto yawned and snuggled into the couch going to sleep

Jordan also started to doze off, feeling completely at easy with Nathan and Keifeto there. After a while, when all was quiet except for the movie that was still playing, a loud shriek, then a dog barking sounded out. Jordan jumped fast and looked around. She stopped and listened. The barking had grown into more painful crying of a dog. She looked around, then realized Toby wasn't downstairs with them. "OH SHIT!" she screamed. "TOBY!!!" she ran upstairs fast. 

"What is it did he get caught by one of my crystals..they wouldn't hurt him though.." Nathan said running behind her his blade pulled out slightly.

Keifeto jmped up being woken up by jordans scream he ran up behind her"wha happened?"

Jordan ran to the back door and found Toby sitting there holding a paw up. She knelt down beside the dog and hugged it. "You poor thing you" she said softly, hugging the dog to her. "My poor baby" she whispered to calm it down. "It's ok puppy.. it's ok"

"The crystals haven't been activated...who could have done this..." Nathan said looking around frantically.

Jordan closed her eyes and stood up, still hugging the dog tightly. She opened her eyes, wiped away a few tears and went back downstairs, keeping the dog close to her.

"I'll be right there..." Nathan said noticing a drop of blood where Tammy held the dog.

Jordan nodded as she rounded the corner and went downstairs. She sat on the couch and hugged the dog tightly, crying silently into his fur. The dog whimpered quietly.

"There is blood on the floor...is it the dogs..." Nathan asked wiping it from his fingertips.

Jordan came back upstairs, tears still freshly running down her cheeks. "Nathan... you said that.. the crystals hadn't been activated.. then how the hell did my dog get hurt?" she asked, making no attempt to wipe the tears away.

"I don't know...that's why I am asking..." Nathan said walking up to her, "we were all downstairs when it happened...did someone bypass the crystals...I even put them by the window's upstairs...and at every possible intrance to this house..."

Jordan shrugged, not sure what to say. "Toby tried to go through her doggy door..." Jordan muttered, pointing to the small hole with a flap of plastic over it, cut into the bottom of the back door.

"The crystal wouldn't have hurt her though just stopped her in her tracks...and would have woken me up...something else did this to Toby..." Nathan mumbled picking up the crystal by the door, "Its still reacting normally.."

"What?" Jordan almost whispered. "W-who would hurt an innocent dog?" she asked in a quiet voice.

"I doubt a dog would have triggered it anyway...what kind of animals are wild around here...has ther ever been a lycan sighting.." Nathan mumbled hearing a rustling sound coming from the other side of the door.

"I-I don't know.." Jordan answered, her voice a whisper.

"That sounds like a racoon digging through the trash...those are mean little creepers if you startle them...that may be what happened to him...I'll look though..." Nathan whispered as he stepped closer to the door and opened it slowly.

"Be careful" Jordan said, slipping up behind Nathan quietly.

"That is not a racoon" Nathan said jumping back inside pulling Jordan with him before closing the door quickly, "that is definately not a damn racoon!"

"What is it?? I didn't see it!!!" Jordan asked fast, clinging to Nathan's arm.

"I don't know...whatever it was it was big!" Nathan said panting heavily.

Jordan gulped. "Oh great... Now what are we going to do??" she asked, sounding exasperated.

"Move away from the door...and go back to the basement...if it tries to come in it's big enough to trip the crystals so it won't make it farther than that..." Nathan whispered backing away slowly stopping only to wait for Jordan.

Jordan jumped away fast, getting behind Nathan and peered around his arm. "Come on.. you come down too" she grabbed his arm and started for the basement stairs.

"Yeah umm...one more thing.." Nathan muttered stopping at the basement door and placing a crystal on eitherside, "just in case...now are there any other ways into the basement..." he asked.

Jordan shook her head. "Well.. other then the small windows..there's two" she answered, heading down the stairs quickly.

"I have five traps left...but these are more dangerous...and can actually hurt someone.." Nathan muttered.

Jordan nodded. "Well.. the windows are high up, see?" she pointed at the two small windows near the ceiling of the basement.

"These are all motion sensitive...so be careful.." Nathan mumbled setting up a spark net by the windows.

Jordan nodded, then sat down on the couch beside Toby and petted the dog. "My poor baby" she murmured. "It's a good thing I heard you, and found you quickly" she cooed.

"Is there another door down here..." Nathan asked.

"No, thats the only one upstairs" Jordan answered, pointing to the stairs they just came down.

Keifeto yawned and looked arund scratching his head"i think there may be lycan around theese parts..."he said as he walked down the basement stairs"there are many..strange things around here,thats why dad moved us here"keifeto yawned sitting back down on the couch

Jordan nodded, hugging her dog gently and examining it to see if it was hurt in any way.

"You wanted to come here because of that..." Nathan said bewildered.

Jordan sighed and went into the small bathroom on the other side of the room. She set the dog in the tub, and turned the water on gently, washing off the whimpering dog.

"Is he gonna be ok.." Nathan asked following her to the door.

"Her paw's pretty bad.. but she's ok otherwise" Jordan said, quickly wiping away tears.

"Let me see her..." Nathan sighed cringing a little.

Jordan turned the water off and picked the dog up. She turned and put the dog on the floor on a towel.

"Which paw is it.." Nathan asked as a soft glowing flame began to surround his hand.

Jordan pointed to the dog's left paw. "Wh-What are you going to do?" she asked quietly.

"This..." Nathan muttered reaching down and grabbing the paw gently as the flames wrapped around and healed the gash.

The dog whined and tried to pull her paw away fast.

Jordan gasped slightly, worried.

"They won't burn....it is just making her nervous...but it is done now.." Nathan said smiling as he released the dogs paw and the wound was healed.

The dog licked her paw, then barked happily at Nathan before bounding off into the other room.

Jordan looked at Nathan, smiling softly. "thanks" she whispered softly, going to him and hugging him tightly.

"Your welcome..." Nathan replied smiling as he held her closer closing his eyes.

Jordan cuddled close to Nathan. "Do you think whatever's outside is going to try to get in?" she whispered.

Keifeto woke up from his daze and yawned"if its a lycan it will probably not come in the ouse"he said flipping over the couch and went to the little bathroom"but of course it might not be a lycan....could be somthing sent after flamey"he shrugged

Jordan looked at Keifeto with a worried look. "I hope not.. I hope whatever it is will go away fast" she muttered, sighing and going into the other room. She sat down on the couch roughly.

"So soon after the second one....you would think they would stop after killing two..." Nathan grumbled stomping up the stairs and over to the back door.

Keifeto yawned and shrugged"i dont think its human....whatever it is"he said walking over to jordan

Jordan jumped up and grabbed the dog that had started up the stairs after Nathan. She went back to the couch and hugged the dog to her. "I don't think do either.. i think it was what got hold of Toby.."

Nathan swung the door open furiously as he stood out looking around as a sudden breeze blew by him and the door closed and locked itself. "Who closed the door!" he yelled hearing a low growl on the other side of it.

"what the heck??" Jordan asked, hearing first the door shut, then Nathan yelling. She put the dog in it's cage to keep it downstairs, then went upstairs to see what was going on.

"Jordan what ever it is, is in the house now it's faster than I am so be careful!" Nathan shouted stepping from the door and forming a fire blade around his hand.

Keieto looked around"oo i wonder what it is!"he said sounding more ecxited than scared

"I'll replace the door later..." Nathan shouted slicing it in half and walking in, "It is a lycan damnit.."

"It's in the house??" Jordan squeaked. "Wait.. my dog.. it's left alone downstairs.." She took off back to the basement, scared witless.

"Jordan it's not after the dog...it's...after you this time..." Nathan said confusedly chasing down the beast as it stalked Jordan.

Keifeto stood by jordan read to fight the lycan"ooo prett wolfy!"

"Keifeto knock it back outside!" Nathan shouted jumping infront of it dragging his blade against it's back leaved a charred gash.

"awww...okay"keifeto said putting his pal on the ground causing the floor underneath the Lycan to whip violently throwing it through the air and out the door

"Thank you.." Nathan sadi dashing after it slicing deeply when it landed.

Keifeto giggled rushing outside"no problemo mr Flame-o!"He giggled and made a giant hand come from the ground like before grabbing the lycan

"I'm fraid we can't be that direct this time..." Nathan muttered as the lycan smashed the hand to pebbles, "he is too strong for that...."

Keifeto giggled"yeah i see"he said crouching low placing his palm on nearby tree,a very large pointed root came up from the ground attempting to spike the lycan

Jordan had gone downstairs and locked herself in the bathroom. "Left out of the fight again.. can't they at least let me try and help myself.. but noooooooooo" she murmured to herself.

"Jordan!" Nathan yelled as the beast dodged both his and Keifeto's attacks, "we could use your help!"

Keifeto laughed as the lycan ran straight tward him growling and snarling a fist came sraight out of the ground knocking the lyca back and dazing it

Jordan couldn't hear anything as she had put her ipod on. She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall beside the sink.

I guess she's not coming... Nathan pondered sighing heavily as he spun around wildly flames incircling his body and forming a widening vortex.

Keifeto watched nathan for a second before getting and idea"well this`ll either kill the lycan..or nathan"he laughed nervously as hecaused the ground under the lycan to whip violently hutling it tward the vortex

Nathan stopped spinning as the vortex grew wider and incompassed the whole yard, "Keifeto get back!" he yelled running past him stopping on the porch.

Keifeto laughed and ran up to theporch where nathan was

"Well that was fun..." Nathan said smiling as the charred lycan was spat from the vortex and it died down.

Jordan's head fell forward slightly as she fell into a deep sleep, her music blasting in her ears.

Keifeto looked around frowning"wheres jordan?"

"She went inside.." Nathan said shaking the ash from his hair before he walked inside.

Keifeto followed him in and looked around,not seeing jordan anywhere "jordan!?"

"She is down here..." Nathan called standing infront of the bathroom door knocking on it, "Jordan...are you ok?"

No answer came from the bathroom. Only the faint sound of music could be heard as it blasted from Jordan's ear phones drapped around her neck.

Keifeto ran down the stairs and tothe batroom door putting his hand on it making it open outwards incase jordan was near it"jordan??"

"She's asleep..." Nathan said smiling as he picked her up and walked to her bed setting her down gently.

The dog started barking furiously in it's cage, wanting to be let out to go to Jordan.

Jordan roused slightly and looked at Nathan with tired eyes. "What's going on?" she asked, hearing Toby bark.

Keifeto ran over to the foot of the bed"not much,were having Fried Wolfy bites for Din din!"keifeto Giggled dancing around the bed

Nathan smiled as he walked over letting the bouncing dog out before walking back to Jordan and sitting beside her saying, "are you feeling ok...you look tired.."

Jordan nodded and sat up beside Nathan. She giggled at Keifeto. "I'm fine.. are you guys alright?" she asked, remembering what just went on. "Wait.. how did I get out here.. and i'm supposed to be mad at you guys!" she exclaimed suddenly, standing up fast.

Keifeto scratched his hea and thought quick"um,No your not mad at us...Your Overwhelemd with happyness!"keifeto nodded trying to be convincing"yes"

"Why are you mad at us..." Nathan asked looking up at her worried, "I called you for help...but you never came...was that because you were mad.."

Jordan scratched her head. "I... I honestly don't remember" she giggled slightly

Keifeto laughed an danced around"see i toldja you cant be mad at us!"he giggled happly

Nathan just shook his head and chuckled slightly, "well I'm tired...so where do I sleep again..."

Jordan stood up, stretched, then went over to the day bed. "You sleep on the bed.. Keifeto.. if you want.. you can sleep here too... there's space on the couch!" she pointed to the couch.

"If you are sure.." Nathan said smiling.

Jordan smiled a soft sleepy smile at Nathan and nodded. "Yes, I'm sure"

"Ok.." Nathan said as he layed back onto the bed and dozed off quickly.

Jordan sat down and smiled, watching Nathan. She sighed softly and leaned back, staring up at the ceiling.

"You..can lay with me if you want to..." Nathan mumbled half asleep.

"Huh????" Jordan exclaimed fast, blinking. She looked at Nathan.

"Nothing..." Nathan said hiding his smile.

Jordan sat up straight. "No.. what did you say?" she asked, a small smirk forming in the corner of her lips.

Nathan pretended to be asleep as the smile grew across his face, I wonder why she is so shy...there isn't much to be shy about now...

Keifeto scratched his head wondering why they were getting ready to go to sleep,he felt extrremly hyper and found it rather odd the two of them were tired"he said i can lay with him!!"keifeto giggled,knowing nathan meant jordan,and jumped in the bed beside nathan laughing loudly

Jordan laughed and got up. She went over and stood beside the bed, smiling at the two boys. "You guys are ridiculous!"

Nathan's eyes opened quickly as the seat of Keifeto's pants burst into flames, "you might wanna try that again..." he growled.

keifeto squealed and took the pants off and jumped up and down on he bed"hey"

"Do I need to try again..." Nathan asked smirking with a devilish glint in his eyes.

Jordan rolled her eyes. "Show offs" she giggled and went to her desk. Seeing as she wasn't feeling tired anymore, she opened her laptop and started it up.

Keifeto giggled and jumped up and down a few more times"yeah i should let you get some sleep"he laughed jumping off the bed and was about to walk away but then he turned around"oh..how rude of me i forgot to tuck you in!"he giggled pas the blankets on the bed wrapped themselves around nathans body and he giggled skipping over to jordan

"..That was odd.." Nathan said squirming to get free, "and what i said before was you can lay down with me if you want to jordan.

Jordan giggled again. "If you want Keifeto.. go ahead and play on my laptop.." she smiled as she stood up and went over to the bed to help Nathan get free of the blankets.

"Thanks.." Nathan said smiling as he climbed ontop of them, "so do you want to or not..." he asked turning slightly hiding the fact he was blushing.

Keifeto giggled "ooh okay!" he said smiling as the laptop floated itself in the air after keifeto stroked its keys and hovered ther for a minute or two and spun around in the air as keifeto clapped wildly

Jordan smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed. She leaned against Nathan and sighed happily. She watched Keifeto and rolled her eyes, smirking widely. Then she looked at Nathan. "Sure" she blushed lightly.

"Ok.." Nathan said smiling shyly as he layed down slowly so she didn't fall.

Keifeto let the laptop float gently to his lap as the keys pressed in as if someone was typing but keifeto`s hands were behind his head

Jordan laid back with Nathan and smiled at him gently. She rolled over onto her side and laid a hand across his chest, her head on his chest gently.

Nathan smiled as he inched closer to her wrapping one arm around her waist and the other on her hand as he closed his eyes and dozed off quickly.

Keifeto let out very high pitched squeal of delight at somthing on the computer and giggled uncontrolably

Jordan snuggled close to Nathan, closing her eyes also, but not feeling the least bit tired.

Nathan jumped quickly at Keifeto's squeal and looked around the room frantically, "who screamed...whats going on??"

Jordan jumped because Nathan had jumped. She fell backwards off the bed, landing on her back. She giggled ridiculously and sat up. "It's ok, it was just keifeto" she said, smirking at Nathan.

"Are you ok!?!" Nathan shouted completely ignoring what she said and practically falling to her side.

Keifeto jumped and turned around"oh..uh..sorry i didnt mean to wake you"he said pouting and putting the laptop down on the desk

"It's ok Keifeto... do'nt worry about it!" Jordan laughed lightly. She looked at Nathan with soft eyes. "It's alright.. I'm fine.."

"Well thats good...i'm glad I didn't hurt you..." Nathan said smiling before giving a sharp cold glance to Keifeto.

Jordan smiled and put a hand on Nathan's cheek and turned his head so he faced her. "Don't be mad at him.." she said softly.

Nathan smiled as his gaze turned softer towards her, "I'm not mad...just annoyed..."

Keifeto loked over at the bed at nathan and jordan"well...i guess ill be going then...."he said standing up

Jordan was about to say something to Nathan, but turned to look at Keifeto. "Going home?" she asked, feeling abit bad for leaving him out.

"I thought he was staying the night here too.." Nathan said softly turning his gaze to Keifeto confusedly.

Keifeto shrugged "yeah..well...i decided not to..."he said walking over picking up his backpack"no real reason to.."

"What is it cause I got upset??" Nathan asked starring at him, "you do realize you have no pants to wear anyway don't you...the ones I gave you have a hole in the ass now..and yours are covered in blood..."

Keifeto looked down "oh...yeah..."he said feeling a little dumb"no it wasnt because you got upset.."

"Well what is it then...you look alittle sad..." Nathan asked standing up pulling Jordan up with him.

Jordan stood, watching Keifeto. She smiled and went over to him, slinging an arm over his shoulder. "You ok little buddy?"

"Yeah what is it..." Nathan asked walking up on his other side smiling, "is it cause I wouldn't let you lay down with me.." he said chuckling slightly.

Keifeto gggled and shook his head"no!"he said laughing at nathans comment"its not that...im just.....in the way"he said frowning slightly"as usual..."

"Who said you were in the way...I know I didn't..and I didn't hear Jordan say it..." Nathan said smiling ruffling his hair, "Its your imagination kid...don't worry about it so much...if we thought you were we would have said something."

Keifeto smiled up at him"are you sure?"he asked looking back down at the ground

Jordan smiled and leaned down so she was face to face with Keifeto. "It's alright, I don't mind having you here.. you're not in the way at all!!!" she smiled a happy friendly smile and hugged Keifeto tightly.

"Yeah I'm sure..." Nathan said smiling before he turned around and walked over to his suitcase digging Keifeto out another pair of pants.

Jordan stretched and went to her desk once more. She opened the laptop and started playing on it boredly.

"You would die without that thing wouldn't you..." Nathan said chuckling.

"No, it's what I do when I'm bored.." Jordan muttered softly, smiling at Nathan.

"Well lets go do something then.." Nathan said smiling over at her as he walked back handing Keifeto another pair of pants.

"Like what?" Jordan smiled, shutting the laptop and turning in the chair to face Nathan.

"I don't know...lets decide once Keifeto gets dressed..." Nathan said smiling softly at her.

Jordan nodded and went over to her bed. She flopped backwards and put an arm behind her head. She put a hand on her stomach to keep her shirt from going up.

Nathan plopped down beside her sighing as he layed back closing his eyes, "Keifeto...when you get dressed...come get us..."

Jordan smirked and rolled over onto her side and smiled at Nathan. She put a hand against his head and played with his hair lovingly.

Nathan smiled slightly as she played with his hair and he reached out for her other hand caressing it softly.

Jordan giggled lightly and moved abit closer to Nathan. She continued playing with his hair.

Nathan smiled holding her hand firmly yet still softly and fell into a light slumber.

Jordan slowly got up so as not to disturb Nathan. She smiled at Keifeto. "I'm going upstairs" she whispered softly before quietly heading up the stairs, the dog bouncing up after her.

Keifeto woke up from where he had fallen on the couch looking around dumbly and giggled"guess i was tired" he laughed putting the pants on that were draped over his lap

Jordan moved around the kitchen quietly, making sure not to make too much noise, afraid to wake the boys up downstairs. The dog bounced around her feet, barking playfully.

"So your awake I see...you ready to go..." Nathan asked glancing over at Keifeto sleepily.

Keifeto looked over at nathan confused"go wherE?"

"We are going out..." Nathan said picking up a shirt on his way up the stairs to Jordan.

Keifeto scratched his head confused"we are......"he said as he jumped up and pulled on the pants and a belt"here i come!"he said exitedly rushing up the stairs as well

Jordan turned to look at the two guys. "So, where we going?" she asked cheerfully.

"Where ever you want to..I don't really care.." Nathan said smiling as he slipped his shirt on and started buttoning it.

Jordan smirked and grabbed a Dog's leash and snapped it onto Toby's collar. "Well, I don't really care either.."

"We will let Keifeto pick then..." Nathan said standing strait as he finished the last button.

"Why don't we just go walk somewhere and decide when we get outside??" Jordan asked, shrugging.

"I guess...he probably fell asleep again anyway..." Nathan said laughing.

Jordan giggled and nodded. "Must have! Well, shall we go?" she asked, heading for the door.

"Yeah...just leave a note or something so he doesn't freak out..." Nathan said laughing.

Jordan nodded and scribbled a quick note on a random piece of paper on the table. She smiled at Nathan. "Ok, now we can go" she turned to head for the door once more.

"Yes now we can go..." Nathan said shaking his head humored by her impatience.

Jordan giggled slightly. "Sorry.. after that whole thing before with that.. whatever it was.. I just feel like I need to get out.."

"It may get dangerous...it will be getting dark soon...are you sure about this.." Nathan asked slipping his dagger into his boot.

Jordan smirked lightly. "Of course I'm sure.. I'll have you with me.." she paused for a moment before letting the dog loose, downstairs. "I'm going to leave the dog here.. for Keifeto" she chuckled lightly.

"Ok...well lets get going then..." Nathan said smiling.

Jordan nodded and blushed lightly as she held out a hand toward Nathan.

Nathan turned to her taking her hand and smiling more as they continued down the road.

Jordan clutched Nathan's tightly as they walked. "So.. where do you want to go?" she asked, looking around as random cars drove past.

"I don't know...you can pick..." Nathan said starring into the passing cars headlights.

"The park's over that way.. lets walk through there.. it's beautiful at this time of day" Jordan said, pointing across the road.

"Ok..lets go.." Nathan said turning suddenly paying no attention to the oncoming car.

Jordan pulled Nathan back fast. "Are you insane?? There's a car coming!!! You could get seriously hurt!!!" she exclaimed, staring at Nathan unbelievably.

"It would have split in half the moment it touched me..." Nathan said waving his hand over hers showing her the intense heat he was giving off after he had cooled down for a few seconds.

"Oh..." Jordan paused then smirked. "Well, that wouldn't have been very nice" she chuckled and started across the road.

"Eh...I have done it before...didn't have much of a choice...it was either that or die.." Nathan said following her.

"But still.." Jordan rebelled, smirking widely.

"I didn't hurt anyone though...just the car.." Nathan said laughing now.

"The poor car" Jordan giggled and jumped up onto the sidewalk on the other side enthusiastically.

Nathan laughed slightly at her comment as he kept on toward the park.

Jordan smirked widely, but kept silent.

Nathan reached behind him for her hand as he turned to face her smiling when they gotto the park. Silver Wind Park

Keifeto Woke up yawnig and looked at the note in front of him reading it"the park huh?" he said standing up and walking outside heading twards the part

---

Jordan walked into her house and went straight downstairs.

Nathan followed nudging the door closed behind him as he walked to her room and layed Keifeto down on the couch, "get some rest....you need it.."

Jordan sighed and slumped down in a bean bag chair and turned on the tv. She stared at it boredly, flipping through the channels.

"I was talking to you..." Nathan whispered walking over to her slowly.

"I heard you" Jordan muttered, looking up at Nathan from where she sat. "But, because I have a minor concussion, doesn't mean you have to act like my mother! I'm fine.. I'm not in a mood to lay down!"

"Well I am so damn sorry that I give a damn!" Nathan growled stomping from the room and out the back door.

Jordan sighed deeply. She stared blankly at the tv for a moment, then stood and turned it off. She ran up the stairs, but stopped fast at the top, getting a headrush from moving so fast. She dropped to her knees, an incredible dizziness coming over her.

Nathan heard a thud in the house and walked up to the door opening it to see what happened, "Are you ok?" he called as he walked over to her quickly.

Jordan looked at Nathan and nodded, holding her head. "Yea.. I just got a headrush.. moved too fast I guess" she mumbled, standing up, but holding onto the wall for balance. "I wanted to make sure I didn't piss you off too much..."

"You didn't....this is just all too much for me to handle right now..." Nathan whispered.

Jordan hugged Nathan tightly. "I-I'm sorry.." she stuttered for lack of anything else to say.

"It's not your fault...it's just...everything thats happened...the assassins after me...you getting hurt...me getting hurt..." Nathan rambled on holding her close to him.

"I know.. I'm sorry for taking off... in the park.." Jordan smirked.

"It's ok...and I'm sorry for snapping..." Nathan said smiling softly.

"No.. you had a right to!" Jordan muttered softly. She closed her eyes, feeling slightly dizzy once more.

Nathan just shook his head as he picked her up and walked back down to her room setting her back on her bed.

Jordan rolled over on her bed and buried her face in her pillow.

Nathan smiled as he sat down beside her running his fingers through her hair.

Jordan stiffled a few tears of exhaustion and slight pain in her pillow. She sighed deeply and curled up in a ball.

"Why are you crying?" Nathan asked concerned.

Jordan cleared her throat slightly. "I'm not" she answered, her voice muffled by the pillow.

"Why are you lying to me?" Nathan asked sighing as he curled in around her.

Jordan stayed silent. She sniffled again and lifted her head, trying to show like she wasn't crying. "I'm.. not?"

"Your eyes are red...you eye lids are swolen and your cheeks are wet...please don't lie to me further..." Nathan said sighing as he sat up.

"I'm sorry.. I guess.. I guess I'm just tired" Jordan muttered softly, sitting up slightly and leaning against Nathan.

"I know you are tired...we all are, but why were you crying?" Nathan asked turning slightly to he was face to face with her.

Jordan shrugged, staring into Nathan's eyes. She looked away fast and blushed lightly. "I don't know..."

Nathan smiled as he slowly stood, "I'll be back in a few minutes..." he said quickly running up the stairs and out the back door fumbling in his pockets.

Jordan frowned slightly, then shook her head and laid back on the bed and closed her eyes, feeling her head hurting again.

Nathan leaned up against the side of the house pulling out a pack of cigarettes and lighint one, "Damn...so much...she could have died...." he rambled as he took a long drag from it.

Jordan's dog bounced out the door after Nathan and sat staring up at him panting happily. then she started barking and bouncing around in happy circles.

Jordan heard the dog barking and opened her eyes. "Damn dog" she got up and slowly headed up the stairs.

Nathan looked down at the dog with the cigarette hanging from his mouth, "Damn dog..." he grumbled motioning his hands for it to go away.

The dog ran off to the back of the large yard, disappearing ito the darkness of the small shrubs at the far end.

Jordan came to the door and looked out. "Toby?" she called, not knowing Nathan was standing by the wall. She stepped out and glanced over and saw him. "Oh.. you're out here..." she muttered, seeing the cigarette.

Nathan snatched the cigarette away quickly dropping it behind him and stomping it out, "Yeah...sorry about that..."

Jordan stared at Nathan for a moment, then looked away fast. She peered into the darkness, looking for her dog.

"He is right here..." Nathan said refusing to look her in the eye as he pointed to Toby chewing on something a few feet infront of him.

"Oh.." Jordan nodded. "So she is.." she went over and picked thr dog up. "Well.. I'll be inside.. " she muttered, heading into the house and back downstairs.

Nathan sighed as he lit another cigarette and mumbled, "Damn dog...why did you have to come to me...I didn't want her to know..." before taking another long puff and knocking his head back on the wall.

Jordan dropped the dog on the floor and slumped down on the couch. She turned the tv on and sighed deeply.

Nathan walked back down to her room sighing as he walked past her and sat on the other end of the couch.

Jordan watched Nathan walk past her, moving only her eyes. She stared at the tv blankly once more. "You know, i don't really care that you were smoking.. i just... would have liked to know before hand... I mean.. my dad did the same thing.. shocked me like that" she mumbled.

"I'm sorry...I just didn't want anyone to know...." Nathan whispered still looking away from her.

Jordan looked at Nathan fast. "Why not? I would have understood.. like I said.. I don't care that you smoke.. it doesn't bother me"

"Because I only started recently...and I am fifteen..." Nathan whispered sighing heavily.

"So?" Jordan replied. She then shook her head and looked away. "Never mind.."

"I don't mean to keep things from you...I've just been alone for so long...its natural to keep to myself.." Nathan mumbled as he turned looking at her and stood up walking around Keifeto who was asleep on the couch and sitting next to her.

Jordan shrugged. "It's ok.." she sighed and leaned her head against Nathan's shoulder.

Nathan smiled slipping his hand behind her and closing his eyes dozing off slowly.

Jordan smiled slightly and closed her eyes also.

Nathan slid down the couch slightly and fell over on Keifeto still asleep as he looked up noticing jordan sliding down his shoulder and to his back before dozing off again.

Keifeto`s eyes opened slowely and yawned feeling nathan"what the..."eifeto said in a tiredtone"what the heck..."he said looking out of it before barely realizing what was going on or where he was"what happened..?"

Nathan's eyes opened as he yawned stretching and hit Keifeto in the face with his hand accidentally, "I'm sorry are you ok?" he asked jumping up unintentionally and letting Jordan fall down on the couch completely.

Jordan woke up fast and sat up. "What the.." she exclaimed before shaking her head and blinking. She stood up and looked at Keifeto, then Nathan, then shook her head once more. She went over to her bed and curled up on it.

Nathan stood there turning to Jordan and back to Keifeto confusedly.

Kifeto held his face "ow.."he said about five minutes after he as hit

"Are you ok?" Nathan asked turning his attention to him for a minute or so.

Keifeto looked at nathan frowning tiredly taking his hand dwn"possibly....."he said yawning

"You need Ice...and you are going to have a black eye.." Nathan said sighing.

Keifeto put his hand up to his eye feeling it swelling slightly"aww an..."

"I know I know...but if you get ice on it now it won't show up as well as it would without...and it won't hurt as much..." Nathan muttered smiling.
